Notes on the Dialectics of ES

(1) Refer to accompanying figure.

(2) The dialectics of ES is represented by a 3-D hexagonal pyramid that has 7 vertices and is constituted of 6 triangular fragments:

     The 5 basic dialectic movements are indicated as the progression in five steps from levels I (white) to VI (black). 

(3)  The dialectics of ES is sufficiently characterized by the 15 topic domains identified in the accompanying figure.  The first dialectic movement is represented by the progression from Stage 1 (white) to Stage 2 (yellow).   It is characterized by the following steps in each of the 15 topic domains

 

                                        Progressions Step                       Resolution
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  From                               White to Yellow                                   (Stage)
2.  From                               Form to Structure                       (Formal Parameters)
3.  From                               Shape to Dimension                    (Formal Projections)
4.  From                               Position to Ordering                   (Coordinate Markers)
5.  From                               Culture to Group Membership     (Thematic Projections)
6.  From  Configuration           to Connectivity                    (Geometric Correspondence)
7.  From  ES Outlines              to Topic Focus                (Ethnosemantic Correspondence)
8.  From  1-D, Point               to 3-D Triangle                      (Geometric Progression)
9.  From  Anchor Points          to Conceptualizations           (Ethnosemantic Progression)
10.From  Perspective              to Relationship                        (Descriptive Domains)
11.From  Views                     to Intentions                          (Performative Registers)
12.From  Interaction               to Expectation                      (Transactional Contention)
13.From  Birth                        to Enculturation                     (Progression of Captivity)
14.From  Individual Action       to Enactment of Liberation     (Progression of Awakening)
15.From  Spiritual Concerns     to Service Concerns              (Manifestations of Captivity) 

     Thus, the first basic dialectic movement is characterized by a progression step from Level I to Level II in 15 domains

Notes on the Dialectics of ES

In this manner, the second, third, fourth, and fifth movements can be iterated systematically.  Note that the 15 topic domains listed (purple) are treated as conceptualizations which resolve (through the process of triangular resolution of contention points) each of the 5 pairs of anchor points (white through black) corresponding to the 5 dialectic movements.  An illustrative case in that of topic domain 7 (Ethnosemantic Correspondence).

Notes on the Dialectics of ES

Similarly, the 5 movements in the other 14 Topic Domains can be derived by the same iterative process with reference to the accompanying master figure.

(4.) The first basic dialectic movement of ES is operationally specified by the ascension to the Level II conceptualization.  This conceptual step-up in ethnosemantic functioning is formally characterized by the up-grading of the mathematical system specified by the 1-D,Point (1.White) to a mathematical system specified by the 2-D, Triangle (1.Yellow,II) (3. Geometric Progression).
 
     The 2-D, Triangle is the minimal geometric figure or expression.  It has 3 verticles and 3 sides; each vertix (corner) has a value specification in 2 independent dimensions along a plane surface (Cortesian Coordinate System).  The 2-D Triangle is, therefore, the minimal expression of STRUCTURE (2. Yellow II).

     In the topical domain of Formal Projections (3), the shape of a two-dimensional figure can be taken as the unit of recognition on a visual projection.  Shape can be defined formally by specifying the configuration (6. White I) of points in a manifold.  For instance, the shape of a star is a configuration of 10 points connected continously on a plane surface.  The dimensionality (DIMENSION, 3. Yellow II) of the star-shaped figure is expressed geometrically by its connectivity (6. Yellow II).  Consider the differences in connectivity between a star and a pentagon:

ES Dialectics

The CONNECTIVITY of the star SHAPE or CONFIGURATION is expressed geometrically by interconnecting the 10 vertices in all possible combinations.   Connectivity is a mathematical expression of the order of complexity of the configuration.  Thus, the total number of interconnections in this case is 45.   Note that the outside area of the fully interconnected star is a pentagon.   Note that the inner area (bounded by 2,4,8,10) is a quadrangle.  Triangles, pentagons, (e.g. 2,4,8,9,10)and

Esynosdialectics.gif (42941 bytes)
hexagons (e.g. 2,3,4,8,9,10) can also be seen by inspection.  The number of such constitutive fragments, their shape and individual connectivity, have exact mathematical derivations and can be specified for any figure.

The star SHAPE is a CONFIGURATION of 10 points arranged on a plane.   It becomes visible when the 10 points are connected continously to form a two-dimensional bound figure.

Thus, by reference to the foregoing discussion, we have the following logical expressions for the first basic dialectic movement:

                                                  M1 I=>II

FORM                                     CONFIGURATION                              SHAPE
----------            =                   --------------------             =                -------
STRUCTURE                            CONNECTIVITY                                 DIMENSION

 

POSITION                               1-D, POINT                                      WHITE
------------          =                  ---------------                    =               -----------
ORDERING                              2-D, TRIANGLE                                 YELLOW
